anyway, i understand what they are saying about emphasizing health and not body shape but its it a coincidence that people who live healthy lifestyles TEND to be not fat.

fermunA big problem is that we define fatness by BMI, which is ridiculous. BMI makes most people, even people who are in a healthy weight range, overweight or obese. THAT is why 2/3 of America is overweight.

Dr DimThere is no way they can convince me that being four times the mass of an average person the same height is a valid lifestyle choice. Even if their blood pressure and cholesterol is somehow normal, their knees and hips can't last long under that kind of pressure.

FABIO2I know a morbidly obese girl who blames her bad knees for not being able to exercise.
